@mainstreetmn.bsky.socialDid you see the latest from the #FinstadForCongress ~ "An endorsement I’m especially proud to receive"
#BradFinstad, who was previously employed by the #TrumpAdministration, and endorsed multiple times by President #Trump, is actively trying to disassociate #RepFinstad from #TrumpFailed policies
@mainstreetmn.bsky.socialDid you hear #MN01 #RepFinstad say in his #Elections2024 campaign that his goal was “to end Washington’s out-of-control spending of taxpayer dollars"?
So WHY has he authorized so much spending by his congressional staff?
#Fraud is a crime, but isn't government waste just as damaging?
@mainstreetmn.bsky.social#FinstadWatch
In the Second Quarter 2026, #MN01 #RepFinstad authorized $41,695.63 for travel expenses for his congressional staff
#BradFinstad's #ChiefOfStaff spending was :
$8,013.24 Lodging
$1,098.29 Parking
$848.53 Mileage
$309.17 Taxi services
$28.02 Meals

@mainstreetmn.bsky.social#RepFinstad 2024 campaign theme was to LOWER costs for #MN01 families
30-year fixed-rate mortgage was 6.49% August 2024 versus 6.78% today UP
The consumer price inflation rate was 2.6% for August 2024 versus 3.6% today UP
@mainstreetmn.bsky.social#RepFinstad would never want to talk about #TrumpPardons but a lot of #MN01 constituents will be after this SUNDAY's #60Minutes Leslie Stahl story entitled The Pardon Economy.
Another issue that @jakejohnsonmn.bsky.social is resonating
@mainstreetmn.bsky.socialNo "official" "public" polling in #MN01.
Using crosstabs for #MN01 in the #QuantusInsights polling for the #MN US Senate race suggests this will be a very close contest and that #RepFinstad's 17 point margin will not happen this year.

Another poll offers #GoodNews / #BadNews for #RepFinstad
A Quantus Insights poll in has #MN01 disapproving #Trump (49%) but 48% would support #MicheleTafoya over #PeggyFlanagan 46%
FYI #Elections2024 Trump won the district by 12%; the #MNGOP Senate candidate got 48% to #DFL winner at 49%
@mainstreetmn.bsky.social#MN01 voting starting 9/18
Almost a month after #JakeJohnsonMN received the endorsement from National Farmers Union, the #MNFarmBureau endorses #RepFinstad (guess they are still waiting on the #BradFinstad promised #FarmBill)
The #FinstadForCongress issues a fundraising appeal
@mainstreetmn.bsky.socialDid you see the announcement from #RepFinstad that he was "honored to receive the #FaithandFreedom Friend of the Family Award" ?
Yet did #BradFinstad object to the #TrumpAdministration creating a video game where players chase, capture, deport immigrants?

@mainstreetmn.bsky.socialYa gotta wonder if #MN01 #RepFinstad has failed to sponsor #HR4805 “Warrior Impact from Neurological and G-Force Stress Act” or the “WINGS Act” is because there would be a cost of the analysis and then the cost in providing services for effected #veterans
@mainstreetmn.bsky.social#BradFinstad has "friends" with $$$
SAVE AMERICAN FREEDOM Committee has filed FEC paperwork to spend $50,000 to support #MN01 #RepFinstad and oppose @jakejohnsonmn.bsky.social
I guess all that concern from #Finstad about out-of-state #DarkMoney can be ignored

@mainstreetmn.bsky.socialLeague of American Workers poll that shows #Tafoya in a statistical tie with #Flanagan has Good & Bad News for #MN01 #RepFinstad
#GoodNews 48% of South #MN want #GOP to control Congress
#BadNews
48% OPPOSE the #FinstadIranWar
64% are falling behind economically
@mainstreetmn.bsky.socialTo win #MN01, @jakejohnsonmn.bsky.social must win
#BlueEarthCounty
In 2024, Trump won the county by 443 votes and #RepFinstad outperformed #Trump and won by 3,950.
The #MankatoFreePress is checking the mood of the voters with a poll about the race

@mainstreetmn.bsky.social@jakejohnsonmn.bsky.social's message that he wants to stand UP for #MN01 families & NOT corporations is quite the contrast from #BradFinstad's previous messages
Oct 2022 #Finstad TV ad campaigned against Pelosi
Sept 2024 #RepFinstad campaigned to address high prices

@mainstreetmn.bsky.social#MN01 #RepFinstad, a multi-millionaire shareholder in #FinstadFarms ( did he pay for his shares or was it a gift?), has sponsored #HR1301 which would allow heirs to owe NO federal estate tax on estates and provides a permanent $10 million lifetime gift exemption.
FYI the #NationalDebt is over $40T

Sept 30 2023
#RepFinstad said "With federal spending at an all-time high and our national deficit at nearly $33 trillion, it is clear that we cannot afford to continue Washington’s pattern of reckless spending that will leave our children and grandchildren bankrupt"
It is $40 TRILLION
@mainstreetmn.bsky.socialDear Camille,
Sorry that you haven't met #BradFinstad
Apparently you are not a multi-millionaire (like him) or an employee of his (who are featured in commercials promoting his campaign).
But you are not alone, #RepFinstad did NOT even make an appearance at the Bavarian Blast Parade (Johnson was)
